Former Phenom Ty Tryon Makes US Open: As a 17-year-old in 2001, Ty Tryon became the youngest player to earn a PGA Tour card and scored $8 million in endorsement deals. Nine years later, he's "an old 26" playing in minor league golf circuits -- but he reached his first major at the U.S. Open after winning a sectional qualifier.
I though it was odd to see his name on the leaderboard, but just couldn't place why. Interesting.
